Wall

How government policies affect the automotive industry is absolutely proper content for this site. Always has been.

This is news that directly concerns the automotive industry. And no, not by any objective measure would a wall/tariffs/anything at all be worth it.

“Oh ho ho,” you say. “But now the companies will just bring the manufacturing into the United States, and the price will magically stay cheap!” Not so fast. Even if that sort of scenario does come to pass, which it won’t, new manufacturing facilities take time to build anew or build out. That fantasy is years out, at

F1 Twizy has to be one of the most adorable things ever...we need a Twizy cup series!!!!

None of these are a 2000s Buick LeSabre and are therefore wrong.

Their voters have proven that they’ll vote Republican no matter what valid criticism can be lobbed at the party. They just did this.

You know, I’ve looked and I’ve looked and I just can’t see anywhere in my comment where I said a single fucking thing about Hillary Clinton.

As the residents of Trumpistan are so fond of saying, she lost. Get over it. Focus on the short-fingered piss golem we’ve got to deal with now.

My expectations and hopes are unbelievably low. I’ll actually consider the next four years a success if there are no nuclear weapons deployed and no significant land wars. I’m assuming that the economy, the social safety net, and basic human decency are already doomed.

Chuck Todd needs to explain to Seth Meyers how real journalism works. I mean, the very idea of putting a Republican operative on the spot like that, and asking, you know, real questions, and then asking follow ups, and not letting the operative get away with saying whatever Frank Luntz bumper-sticker happens to roll
